Scaling a DataFrame in Javascript

In a previous article I proposed a thought experiment: one might model SQL Execution Plans in Javascript, and use this to design a database that supports example plans. Such a system might allow for new query languages to be built, or drop-in algorithms in a data processing application (for instance, one might want to be able to do “create index” for a LINQ query that is actually against in-memory data).

In this article I will explore the problem from a different angle: a data structure that can to handle massive amounts of data in memory.
